TOLOnews's Farakhabar programme hosted a discussion on the human rights situation in Afghanistan and the challenges facing migrants returning to the country. The debate addressed conditions returnees face amid large-scale repatriations and the broader rights climate, drawing attention to ongoing concerns about safety, livelihoods and support for those coming back.

Da Afghanistan Bank says nearly 350 ATMs are operating across Afghanistan, according to TOLOnews. The figure offers a rare snapshot of the country's banking infrastructure, which has been strained since the Taliban takeover in 2021, when foreign funding froze and many banks restricted withdrawals. Observers are likely to weigh the number against Afghanistan's population of over 40 million, where cash remains dominant and access to formal financial services is limited, especially outside major cities.
